More rain is expected in the Alpine region than previously predicted. Until Friday, about 400 millimeters of rain can fall. In the north of Italy and southern Switzerland, code red applies.

Up to and including Friday, more than 400 millimeters of precipitation is expected in the Alpine region. That means that in a few days about as much rain falls as normally in six months.
“The bad weather is due to a low -pressure area that clashes with the south side of the Alps. That happens more often during this time of the year,” says Van Bernebeek. Bergen force the air to rise. As a result, the air cools down and there is severe precipitation.
The nuisance will in particular consist of flooding and slippery roads, the meteorologist says. “Some floods can also take place locally. You can certainly expect that in the mountains.” According to Van Bernebeek, the center of gravity is Thursday evening. “It will be over in the course of Friday.”

In the south of Switzerland, the warning was extended by Weather Service Meteoswiss to Friday morning.
